Having an OC3 to any of the MAEs or NAPs is a lot
like having a 45 lane superhighway to your local
mall parking lot a christmas.

A good host will have multiple connections from
the primary backbone providers (MCI/C&W - UUNet -
Sprint) and use MAE/NAP connections for that
occasional rogue packet to a second or third tier
provider.

All of the primary backbone providers now pull
direct access to/from each other to avoid the
bottlenecks of the MAEs/NAPs that were causing a
majority of thier routing problems.
